Lost but still qualify

[Tauros]

This season i'm doing really poorly. And I don't get why!

I have the strongest squad in my league. Youngest too.
I use counter formations, when possible.
I always watch the games live, and usually have friends watching too. At least one.

And still, i keep losing and getting draws!!!!

The hell is going on this season?

Strange your opponent has 2 supporters of the same name... He might be a multi account holder

I said three season ago the structure of the transfer Mkt was changing, welcome to the world of the geriatrics.
The life of a player in your squads is being reduced by two seasons.
You only have to look at the scout list.
Avg age was 25 from the 18 listed last season up from 14.2 the season before, mine is currently 26.3.
Not one single 22yo since day 1.
All 5* players on my T/M when they appear are 30+ with 75% of 4* over 26.

There is no doubt that some servers are now getting the cream, checking people who are now in their third season on my negotiations have 22yo scouts in their teams this season and also high quality 18/19yo 5*.

The game is ***** end off.

There can't be many players around on your server thats L7.

Counter formations are too much of a liability. Play your own style with your best team and see how you do. I find that using counter formations produces less impressive results.

I've established that this season with recent game engine tweaks that some counter formations are not as effective. I barely beat a 3-5-2 playing a midfield with DML/DMR this afternoon 2-0 with 4-4-2 classic being named as the traditional counter formation.

[Zeon]

phew!

i barely managed to advance in cup, i won 3-1 at home, but i also lost 1-3 away (despite 21 vs 16 team quality, and me playing with my A team). he was already up 3-0, but i managed to score the important goal and after a uneventful overtime my keeper managed to block 3 shots so i won 3-2 in penalties. after this performance he also got the MotM award, noone else in my team deserved it

too much sweat for my taste!^^


maybe i can make the same upset in tommorows CL match, where i am the underdog with about 5 points less in team quality

Ceahlaul 0-2 July Fourth League Round 12
Ceahlaul 93.3 3-5-2 with DML/DMR - July Fourth 103.8 4-4-2 Classic

We were kind of lucky to get away with the 3 points here against a stubborn Ceahlaul who played well and perhaps deserved a draw from this game, July Fourth were not at their best, Michu was moddest, and Papaleo was out the game on 12 minutes with an injury and as the game wore on with it being 0-0 most of the way, we were wondering if we were actually going to win this one or not, It was more of a better defensive side of July Fourth's game that won this rather than the strikers, Adams and Ramirez worked very well on the Center-Right and Right back positions, they made sure nothing got through and a left back R.McNamara is the expert of the slide tackles. Our Goal eventually came midway through second half with both substitutes, Crawford squaring off to Alex Zidane to smash it past the keeper, Ceahlaul were not finished here, there was 2 chances for the home side to get level, one went wide and another was blocked by Ramirez, Then a foul from the home side gave Mensah a free-kick and he got it up and over the wall and into the goal to kill the game off.

Goals: Zidane (67) Mensah (85) MOTM: Ramirez.

Papaleo out for 3 days.

I'm beginning to think why should we bother with counter formations? SimyFC keeps the same formation and beats teams easily as well and she almost has as many goals as me. I started using my own style of 4-5-1 v and score more goals this way. Better than switching every match as that's how most of my low scoring wins have come from

There a few around AS Roma for one the two teams that beat me in the cups last season are also on my server.
It's the same story with them, other L7 who I have as friends on different servers are all telling me on FB of similar age increases.
22yo scouts don't just dry up, there all computer generated IMO so if they are there they are hidden under a pile of 29/27/25yo players that have to bought first.
That happened to me twice last season.
